Kültepe'den Değişik Bir Ticari Mal Listesi (Kt n/k 1697)
Journal Title: Archivum Anatolicum-Anadolu Arsivleri - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 2
Abstract
A Different List of Commercial Goods from Kültepe (Kt n/k 1697) Uṣur-ša-Ištar, son of Aššur-immittī, was one of the most important individuals in the society of Old Assyrian traders who settled down at Kültepe/Kaniš in the Assyrian Trade Colonies Period. Many texts that help to illustrate the social, cultural, political and economic life of the era from his archive which includes more than two thousand texts have been published up to now. The text introduced here for the first time also belongs to Uṣur-ša-Ištar’s archive. This document is important because it includes many terms and some cuneiform signs which occur for the first time in the Old Assyrian corpus. The aim and the scope of its production are not clear. At first glance, it is thought to be a list of commercial goods kept in a store or a house of a trader. However, too many mistakes on calculations and some unique signs appearing for the first time in the tablet make one think that it could be a school text as well.
